Presentation

Dimensions:

Length: 90 mm

Diameter: 20 mm

Ring gauge: 50

Shape: Petit Robusto

Appearance:

The cigar is looking great; it has a beautiful colorado claro medium-brown, color. The wrapper is smooth, almost veinless, and slightly oily. The triple cap is almost perfect. The cigar is firm without any soft spot.

Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

Like its older sibling, Partagas Serie D No. 4's, the box gives out cedary and honey creamy scents. The pre-light draw is perfect and the wrapper leaves a sweet flavor on the lips.The cold draw is easy, not too easy though, and gives typical Partagas flavors, tobacco, earthy tones and also some sweetness.

Burn/ Draw

The burn line might start a bit uneven at the beginning, but then corrects itself. Creates a nice medium grey ash, which holds on for almost the half of the cigar. A generous amount of smoke is released by this cigar.

Initial third:

The cigar starts off with lots of pepper, but after a couple of puffs, the pepper fades and leaves ample space for a good tobacco flavor. There is also plenty of coffee, cocoa and some notes of leather, wood and earth. The finish is long and woody.

Middle third:

In the middle third, the flavors are picking up in intensity and so does the pepper. The flavors are short of being harsh, but there is a strong punch of dry wood, black, cayenne pepper. The youth of the cigar is a factor certainly, but it is never too harsh. The body is closer to full now

Final third:

In the final third, the harshness goes away, but the flavors get stronger, now a full body cigar. The flavors are full of wood and black pepper.

In summary, it is a very powerful short smoke, which is pretty much as shorter version of the Partagas Serie D No.4, perfect of a short break or a winter smoke.
